**Baja California Weather Update: Prepare for Strong Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Temperatures**
Baja California residents should gear up for a week of challenging weather conditions, as reported by the latest update from the National Water Commission. The region is set to experience the effects of two powerful cold fronts moving in from the northwest and north. As these systems combine with the subtropical jet stream, expect increased wind activity, turbulent seas, and scattered showers throughout the area.
Winds ranging from 50 to 70 km/h are predicted to sweep across both Baja California and Baja California Sur, potentially stirring up dust clouds that could impair visibility on the roadways and in the air. The western coastline could face waves as high as 1 to 3 meters, posing a hazard to smaller vessels.
Here’s a brief overview of what to anticipate in various locations:
– **Tijuana:** The day will start partly cloudy with light rain, transitioning into thunderstorms by early morning. Temperatures will range between 13°C and 17°C, with northwest winds picking up to 30 km/h at night.
